That's the one I meant. My pro is excellent, only drawbacks are no notification lights and the GPS is a bit crap.

Whoever gets one, please let me know if NFC would work with Android Pay.
Its some certification process that these phonemakers usually don't follow
through on.
Great find and phone but those 'reviews' are really just someone discussing the marketing info on the phone - there's no actual reviews yet but it seems like a great price. I bought the Homtom HT20 which was a good solid phone but no one told me how enormous that thing is for a phone with a 4.7" screen!
Its a shark resistant phone according to the video....its a must buy then!

love the idea of one of these... except without a doubt you'll have to fiddle with a cover every night to open the charge port.

Tempted to order this as a backup work phone for when I am lifeguarding. Kids like to splash and if ever did have to jump in fingers crossed wouldn't break. If did its not so expensive. Always plan on getting waterproof phone but never seem too.
